NOTE 3 SPONSOR AND MANAGEMENT WARRANTS

 

On November 9, 2010, we issued warrants to purchase shares of our common stock to certain of our sponsors (the “Sponsor Warrants”). The exercise price for the warrants of $50.00 per share and the number of shares of common stock underlying each warrant are subject to adjustment for future stock dividends, splits or reverse splits of our common stock or certain other events. The 1,916,667 of Sponsor Warrants outstanding are exercisable at any time and expire on November 9, 2017.

 

In November 2010 and February 2011, we entered into certain agreements (the “Management Warrants”) with David R. Weinreb, our Chief Executive Officer, Grant Herlitz, our President, and Andrew C. Richardson, our former Chief Financial Officer, in each case prior to his appointment to such position, to purchase 2,367,985,  315,731 and 178,971 shares, respectively, of our common stock. The Management Warrants represent underlying shares, which may be adjusted pursuant to a net settlement option, were issued pursuant to such agreements, at fair value in exchange for a combined total of approximately $19.0 million in cash from such executives at the commencement of their respective employment. Mr. Weinreb and Mr. Herlitz’s warrants have an exercise price of $42.23 per share and Mr. Richardson’s warrants have an exercise price of $54.50 per share, and all warrants are currently exercisable. Mr. Herlitz exercised his warrants in early January 2017, resulting in the net issuance of 198,184 shares in accordance with the warrant provisions. Mr. Herlitz also donated 6,850 shares to a charitable trust, which were net share settled for 4,400 shares in accordance with the warrant provisions. In February and March 2017, Mr. Richardson exercised 130,000 Management Warrants, resulting in the net issuance of 70,014 shares in accordance with the warrant provisions. Mr. Weinreb’s warrants expire in November 2017, and Mr. Richardson’s remaining warrants expire in February 2018.

 

As of March 31, 2017, the estimated $129.4 million fair value for the Sponsor Warrants representing warrants to purchase 1,916,667 shares and the estimated $184.4 million fair value for the remaining Management Warrants representing warrants to purchase 2,416,956 shares were recorded as liabilities because the holders of these warrants could require us to settle such warrants in cash upon a change of control. The estimated fair values for the outstanding Sponsor Warrants and Management Warrants were $123.5 million and $208.7 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2016. The fair values were estimated using an option pricing model and Level 3 inputs due to the unavailability of comparable market data, as further discussed in Note 7 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Decreases and increases in the fair value of the Sponsor Warrants and the Management Warrants are recognized as warrant liability gains or losses, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

On October 7, 2016, we entered into a management warrant agreement with our new Chief Financial Officer, David R. O’Reilly, prior to his appointment to the position. This warrant represents 50,125 underlying shares with an exercise price of $112.08 per share and was issued at fair value in exchange for $1.0 million in cash from Mr. O’Reilly. The new warrants qualify as equity instruments and are included within additional paid-in capital in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
